What's in Il Name

The term texas" applied to the hurrl-
cane deck of steamboat had its origin on
the Mississippi in 1915. When boats were
first built the pilot-house was placed on the
hurricane deck. Finally, in the aboVe-mell-
toned year, the pilot-house was placed up
higher, and underneath it was room or
two, with about six or eight berths IN II.
When a tough passenger came on board ana
had sufficient money to pay for his CABIN
fare, the clerk, not wishing to put MIN
among the cabin passengers, gave nm d
bunk in this little cabin, and sometimes 1t
would be filled with some of the worst
roughs in the country. Finally the ofncerS
of the boat owing to the toughness OF the
room, chrstened it Texas, after the State OF
Texas, which at that time was noted l0r us

Of late years, and especially the large ones: ones,
